Challenge:Anything Goes with a Pocket

December 10th - 16th, 2013

Hi, this is Cheryl. Today I am posting my creation with Cuttin' and Stampin". All of the Designer Team was given the Simple Stories Snap December Documented paper collection for this week's challenge and instructed to use some type of pocket for our project. For Christmas my husband and me give gift cards to our kids and I am always looking for some type of holder for their stocking. This paper collection has many small journaling cards that can be used in place of a gift card. I have taken pictures of both options. As always, if you wish to see how I make this card, please go to my blog and all of the details are found there.



I used the clear Wink of Stella pen on the tree and gifts



My finished gift card holder. Enjoy!




Thank you for visiting the Cuttin' andf Stampin" Blog. If you wish to purchase the Simple Stories Snap December Documented paper collection, the Paper Smooches Winter Grove stamp set, or the Wink of Stella pen that I used, please visit their online Cuttin' and Stampin" Scrappy Supply Store here.  We would appreciate it if you will also "like" and follow their Facebook page by clicking here.

Challenge:  Anything Goes with a Pocket

December 10th - 16th, 2013



We are thinking about pockets.  Everywhere you look in scrapbooking and card making, you see pockets.  All of the design team projects are using Sn@p December Documented paper this week to create something with pockets.   

This is Vickie's Pocket card project.

Pocket Card Back

Pocket Card Inserts
 
I used a white paper lunch bag for the base of my pocket card!  The inserts can be used to hold pictures, quotes, etc.  The insert on the left is a mini card and could hold a gift card on the inside before it's tucked into the card pocket.  This project was a lot of fun to create! 

Now, it's your turn to create a pocket project!

Please make sure your creation post has a link back to Cuttin' and Stampin'.

Amber here from AMBAJU Creates.  I've been working on the store side at Cuttin' and Stampin' Scrappy Supplies. I am absolutely LOVING being back in the industry!!  With each scrappy job I've had, I've made friends and learned so much.  This time is definitely no exception.  I am filling in for one of the girls over the holiday so I'm pretty excited to be here with you!

We were supposed to use Simple Stories "December Documented" line so I cut down the 6x6 pad and made my own Pocket Cards. :)
I also used the following supplies that can all be found here in our store:
December Documented Paper
Style A Page Protectors (Project Life)
Wink of Stella Pen (clear) on the candy cane (gives a subtle shimmer...hard to see in the pic!)
Black Rainboots Thickers (Santa)
I actually used a die to cut this little gem out.  It's the Lawn Fawn 3x4 Journaling Die.  Made cutting the cards MUCH easier and quicker!! :)

Lynda here from Positive Force with my pocket project for you.  This time of the year we are giving gift cards to all the teachers at school, so why not put it in a pocket.  For my card I thought I would create a fun gift on the front of the card using the great papers from Sn@p December Documented and added this cute tag I made and stamped with the Paper Smooches Swanky Snow Dudes set.  The sentiment and banner are also from Paper Smooches.  I think the teacher will love to find this gift card tucked inside this pocket present!
